      I'm afraid that may not work. We used to keep all of our "in-date" antisera on the top shelf, and our out-dated teaching antisera on the bottom shelf.  This meant that, if any of our "in-date" an

      Now you just have to make sure that no one stores their lunch in the BB refrigerators. Don't laugh, I found a copy of a very old inspection and it was written up that food was found in one of the BB r

    Are you saying Kansas is like another country? Planet? Dimension?

    Oz is another place in another dimension and it's definitely close enough for the flying monkeys to escape to Kansas.

    What happens South of the equator.  I wonder how that affects flying antisera?

    Like the bathwater?

    That's what I was getting at.....but then, I got curious, and looked it up to see if it was actually true about water draining one way or the other. It turns out that in a perfect, static state of affairs, Coriolus forces can indeed cause the hemispheric effect, BUT in the real world those forces are vastly weaker than other influences at play and are overcome by variations in the shape and structure of drains and tubs, motion of the water in a basin caused by use or a slightly off center (which they all are) faucet filling it up, and so on. Hence it joins a long list of charming but untrue urban legends. There's an equatorial nation where, for a modest fee, you can see a toilet on the north side of the line flush in one direction and one on the south side flush the other. They're rigged.

    Dr. Pepper, it's no wonder you're a blood banker!  Search for the answer and never give up until you've found it.  Bravo!

    Story of my life. I'm glad it's not just me.

    Which is why I'm retiring at the end of the month so I can stay home and still not get anything done.
